George E. Townsend.
Game Warden Pilot George Townsend was killed when the plane he was piloting crashed into Maranacook Lake shortly after taking off from its base in nearby Tallwood. Warden Townsend and a Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife biologist were conducting a moose survey. As soon as the plane took off, it fell into the water. The airplane turned upside down, submerging the cabin underwater. Both men were killed instantly. Warden Townsend was a United States Navy WWII veteran and served with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife - Warden Service for 11 years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Game Warden Pilot Townsend gave the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife 11 years.
Thank you for your service to the Augusta community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
